According to the data, ChatGPT currently has over 100 million monthly active users. However, there are still many people who have not used this software and do not even know what it can do.

We see that many people are searching for answers to questions such as "Can ChatGPT write papers?", "Can ChatGPT write code?", "Can ChatGPT make PPTs?" and "Can ChatGPT be used for learning Japanese?" The truth is that its applications go beyond these examples.

In simple terms, ChatGPT is a text-based question-and-answer software (although it can reply with images through some settings). It has a wide range of potential uses in daily work. However, some people believe that the capabilities of text-based tools are limited in today's new media and internet age where our work demands extend beyond just words.

But words remain the foundation of much work. What ChatGPT provides is not just a piece of copy but also an approach - offering a quick way to search for information and helping you save time. If you use appropriate ways to ask questions or train your own model by asking more questions, then it could help you create PPTs and Excel sheets, edit videos, analyze documents, write code etc., even better utilize other AI products like Stable Diffusion.

We have collected and organized various scenarios where one might use ChatGPT on the internet which mainly fall into several categories:

1. Text/Writing/Commentary

——Write a story——

Using ChatGPT for copywriting is the most basic usage. You can let AI simulate different professions and writing styles, and create or optimize copies based on different goals, such as:

• Writing scripts: creating a script based on a theme, including story background, characters, and dialogue.

• Writing novels (storytelling): outputting novels according to different genres such as fantasy, romance, history etc.

• Writing poetry: outputting poetic lines based on topics or themes.

• Writing papers: outputting rich and persuasive content for academic papers based on specific topics.

• Writing cover letters: inputting self-introduction information to generate job application letters.

• Writing review articles (movies/technology/news/food etc.): providing comments around the given subject matter.

• Article title generator: generating corresponding language titles based on article content

• Synonyms: listing multiple synonyms of a word.

2. Learning

——Let ChatGPT teach you how to learn algorithms——

ChatGPT can search for relevant learning materials on the internet, and organize study plans, learning materials, specific learning content, etc., to provide assistance for students and those who need to learn. However, some content still needs to be used under the guidance of formal teachers, including: • Study plan development: Break down learning goals into specific execution plans and provide corresponding learning materials. • Mathematics/history/programming, etc.: Ask AI questions and get answers related to these subjects. • Psychology/philosophy: Discussion and explanation of philosophical and psychological issues. • Career-related learning: For example, providing study assistance in accounting/finance/medicine/public speaking.

3. Treat it as a tool/assistant for use.

——Using ChatGPT for English translation——

We can consider ChatGPT as a tool, such as for language learning, programming (although it provides suggestions or simple sample code according to requirements, which still require professional programmers to modify), or let ChatGPT provide us with optimized usage scenarios for other tools, such as optimizing design and creating charts.

• Language recognition/translation/modification: Recognize the language you input and translate it into the corresponding language or improve the sentence you provide.

• Morse code (password) translation: Convert language into Morse code or recognize Morse code.

• Emoji translator: Translate input text into emojis.

• Programming problem solving (or assistance): Simulate a programming community to answer your questions and output solution codes. If you just want to solve problems, this will be the most practical. In terms of programming direction, you can also use ChatGPT for front-end development, interface/user experience development, etc.

• IT architect: Design system solutions from an IT architect's perspective.

• Assist in designing Excel/PPT/etc.: Help users build outlines and content plans based on target needs.

• Prompt generator: Let ChatGPT optimize prompt words required by other AI products (such as stable diffusion/midjourney).

4. Industry consultant/Providing inspiration

——Ask questions related to the enterprise——

ChatGPT can provide multi-faceted problem consultation for people in different positions in various industries, and can also relatively replace professionals from different industries to help you solve corresponding problems (however, these solutions may not necessarily be correct), including but not limited to:

CEO, product manager, salesperson, advertising planner, business planning, event planning, social media manager, KOL/social media influencer , HR personnel , IT staff , accounting , finance , investment , medical care , language learning , music industry real estate management pet care legal services sports interior design gardening tea art beauty and makeup etc.

5. Others

ChatGPT is a chatbot that provides effective advice in professional fields and also has many entertainment features to be developed for daily use by users, such as:

• Talk show: input a topic and output humorous talk show based on the topic, trying to integrate into daily life.

• Constellation/Tarot/Dream interpretation: understand constellation-related information, interpret things around you through astrology or interpret dreams described by you.

• Role-playing (playing tabletop games): ChatGPT can simulate a character or game scene and communicate with you.

Summary:

ChatGPT is a widely applicable tool that can provide assistance to professionals and users from all walks of life. However, in order to obtain more accurate answers, you need to learn how to ask precise questions of ChatGPT, just like using a search engine. But please note that for all AI-provided answers, we should still maintain skepticism because the accuracy of some questions may not be high. In addition, as of the publication date of this article (20230313), the ChatGPT we used was based on the GPT-3.5 architecture large language model and trained with reinforcement learning, but information may not be synchronized in real-time. Therefore, if you have sufficient relevant professional knowledge and can proficiently use excellent prompts and efficient questioning methods, then ChatGPT will become your good assistant for optimizing workflow and improving work efficiency.

Next up, I will share some advanced questioning techniques to help you better use ChatGPT. See you next time!
